Although it took Imogen Heap seven years to follow up her solo debut with 2005's SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, the British vocalist was far from idle during the interim, having formed Frou Frou with producer Guy Sigsworth (Bjork, Seal). While her second album mines a vein similar to Frou Frou's electronica/pop hybrid, it also carries a more sweeping and dynamic singer/songwriter aesthetic. The disc's most notable track is "Hide and Seek," a nearly a cappella tune that was prominently featured on the popular teen drama THE O.C., and presents Heap's bold-yet-breathy vocals lounging on a bed of electronic effects. Other highlights include the glitchy, chiming "Goodnight and Go" and the urgent "Clear the Area," both of which exemplify this assured and intriguing record.

Artist Overview
Imogen Heap's vibrant music meshes intimate singer-songwriterly lyrics with stylish electronic dance beats. Although relatively unprolific, releasing only two solo albums and one collaborative effort (as the duo Frou Frou) within 10 years, the British singer has managed to quietly infiltrate pop culture through several well-placed soundtrack cuts released in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her poignant techno-ballad "Hide and Seek," with its haunting use of vocoder, appeared as dramatic background music in several films and TV shows, and her music has appeared on numerous soundtracks. The popularity of her 2006 Grammy-nominated album, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, inspired the re-release of her 1998 debut, garnering even more fans in the process.
